Absence epilepsy subnetworks revealed by event‐related independent components analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging

The aim of this study was to provide better spatiotemporal description of the brain activity observed during generalized spike‐and‐wave (GSW) discharges. Simultaneous electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG‐fMRI) studies of these epileptiform events have shown regional differences in the timing of fMRI signal changes, which suggests activities within multiple interacting networks rather than a single unified network.
